I liked this book a lot, in part just because it's about things I think about daily (tech ethics, creation & commodification of creative value, attention as currency, the limitations of temporarily inhabiting someone else's experiences as a vector for empathy, whether or not humanity's fundamentally flaws will doom us, and so on). Honestly, I think Hank Green is a better philosopher than he is storyteller. The conversation between him and Cory Doctorow at the end of the audiobook was great, too.

I honestly didn't enjoy A Truly Remarkable Thing that much; it felt like cheesy pulp sci-fi with kind of overplayed takes on the theme of internet fame. But it was worth reading to be able to truly appreciate this sequel. I think part of it may have been that I was a bit tired of hearing the story from April's POV, so I really appreciated the rotating narrator cast in this one. Miranda's parts in particular were outstanding, and her audiobook narrator was spot-on to my imagination of her.
